VOL. 27.NO 47 REPRESENTATIVE PEARRE. Special to The Washington Post. Cumberland, Md., April 4.—Representative George A. Pearre carried the primaries in Allegany county today, in his contest for renomination over Lloyd Lowndes, by about seventy-five votes in excess of two years ago, when he defeated Mr. Lowndes in a similar contest. The total votes are: Pearre, 3,108; Lowndes, 2,399. Pearre's majority is 759. This assures the renomiation of Pearre for Congress at the Congressional Convention soon to be held in Hagerstown. Returns from the primary held in Garrett county show that Pearre received the endorsement of the Republican primaries there without opposition. Primaries were also held n Allegany county today for delegates to the county convention, which, in turn, will elect delegates to the district convention in Chicago. Peare also won in this primary, according to the returns so far at hand. His delegates are favorable to the nomination of Taft, Lowndes' delegates were in favor of an uninstructed delegation. Heavy Vote Cast. Pearre carried Orleans by a majority of 40 in a total of 84 votes. Two years ago he carried the same district by 12 in a total of 34 votes. It is charged that a number of Democrats voted in the primaries at Orleans for Pearre, and that the vote today is in excess of the total vote cast at some regular elections. It is alleged that canal influence was used in this district through J. Graham Pearre, paymaster, who is a brother of Congressman Pearre. Pearre carried Lonaconing by 212 and Frostburg by 63. He carried Lonaconing two years ago by 73 and Frostburg by 117. Lowndes carried his own district, No. 6, in Cumberland, by 14 votes. This district is also the home of Colonel Pearre and former Senator Wellington, who supported Pearre this year, but was with Lowndes two years ago. In the previous primary Pearre carried the district by 37. Mr. Lowndes polled a better vote in Cum- berland than two years ago. He lost in the mining region. Labor Against Lowndes. Pearre had the backing of the Anti-Saloon League, State Superintendent Anderson having sent out letters in his behalf. Organized labor was also arrayed on his side, and the influence of the Junior Order of United American Mechanics, of which Pearre is a member, was exerted largely for him. Mr. Lowndes, because of the identity of the Lowndes family with a number of corporations, was accused of being an enemy of labor. Pearre's victory places him in position to aspire to the nomination of chief judge of the Fourth Judicial Circuit of Maryland, and he hopes to have the Republican nomination against Judge A. Hunter Boyd, who will be renominated by the Democrats. The latter is now chief judge of the Court of Appeals. The total vote in the primary was 5,457, while the usual Republican vote in the county at a regular election is about one thousand less. It is charged that many Democrats voted in the primary election, and that in South Cumberland alone Colonel Pearre received over one hundred Democratic votes. Worner Wins in Montgomery. Rockville, Md., April 4.—Brainard H. Warner, of Kensington and Washington, carried Montgomery county at today's Republican primary election, defeating Representative George A. Pearre in ten of sixteen precincts. He was successful in Laytonsville, where his ticket was unopposed; in Poolesville, First Precinct of Rockville, Colesville, Darnestown, both precincts of Olney, Potomac, Barnesville, and the First Precinct of Wheaton. Pearre delegates were elected in Clarksburg, the second precinct of Rockville, Bethesda, Gaithersburg, Damascus, and the second precinct of Wheaton. There was no opposition to the Pearre ticket in Damascus. The county convention will be held here next Wednesday and will select a delegation to cast the county's five votes at the Congressional Convention to be held at Hagerstown, and will also name delegates to represent the county at the State Convention, which meets in Baltimore April 30. The delegation to the State Convention will be favorable to Secretary Taft for president. The contest which ended today was one of the liveliest primary fights ever waged in Montgomery county. Mr. Warner's campaign was urged against great odds in the shape of the opposition of the party organization. The contests at several of the polling places today were of the liveliest possible character. This was particularly true of the Second Precinct of Rockville District, where young B. H. Warner led the fight for his fuse to declare for Bryan against ther, and Willis B. Burdette, formerly chairman of the County Committee, was in charge of Pearre's forces, which won by a vote of 5 to 37. Warner Eight in Clarksville In the Clarksburg District the fight was also warm. Here Daniel W. Baker, United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, was in the thick of the fight for Pearre, and he was assisted by Charles S. Hilton, a merchant in Clarksburg, while John T. Smith and Bradley Dutrow were managing the contest in behalf of Mr. Warner. Later returns from this district show that only seven delegates on the Warner ticket winning over Baker and Hilton by small majorities. The complete vote of the county is not obtainable tonight, but it is estimated that the popular majority for Mr. Warner is about 350. The county convention will be composed of 144 delegates, and the returns indicate that ninety-two of them will be friends of the Kensington candidate. Hagerstown, Md., April 4—LiTttle interest was taken in the Republican primaries held throughout Washington county tonight. There were no contests and it was generally understood that the delegates selected tonight to the county convention on April 14, which will elect delegates to the Congressional convention, are unpledged. The organization was in complete control, and, so far as reported, was not opposed in any district in the county. Washington county's vote in the Congressional Convention will be for Pearre, according to statements of the organization leaders. Frederick, Md., April 4—Republican primaries in Frederick county passed off practically without a contest, and with the general understanding that Pearre, if he carried his own county, would have this county's support for renomination. HEFLIN ON STATES RIGHTS. In a speech delivered by Heflin of Alabama, January 20, 1908, he was reported as follows: Amid a storm of applause Representative J. T. Helfin, of Alabama, in a speech last night at the celebration in honor of the one hundred and first birthday anniversary of Gen. Robert E. Lee, given by Camp 171, United Confederate Veterans, at Mt. Vernon Place Methodist Episcopal Church South, declared that the South still believes in the doctrine of State rights, and that she will defend to the uttermost the social and political supremacy of the white man. "The Confederate soldier has nothing to apologize for," said Representative Helfin. "He believed that the history of his, country, and that the Constitution both supported the doctrine of State rights." "He knew it," cried voices from the audience. "Not until the surrender at Appomattox," continued Representative Heflin,"was the question as to whether any State had a right to secede from the Union decided. The South still believes, as the original Thirteen Colonies believed, in the doctrine of State rights and her gallant soldiers, who laid down their lives on the field of battle, laid a stress upon that principle last while human liberty shall last." The speaker declared that there is no "new South." "It is the same old South," he said, "that believes the white race is God's chosen race; superior to every other race under the sun, and His people will defend to the uttermost His sacred right to rule. They will keep the holy fire forever burning in the temple of Anglo-Saxon race purity. Wise Men Chanpe, Fools New THE BEE CRAWFISHES. From the Baptist Truth. The Washington Bee has faced from grace.

Wise Men Change, Fools Never THE BEE CRAWFISHES. From the Baptist Truth. The Washington Bee has fallen from grace. It was one of the earliest and most pronounced Negro papers against Roosevelt's executive lynching of the Negro soldiers. It was for Foraker first, last, and until death. It wanted Roosevelt's scalp, though it took the defeat of the G. O. P. to do it. The Bee started off to lead in the organization of a new party in the event the Republican party at Washington did not make good the bad Roosevelt had done. It has now crawfished by saying that it is evident that FoFraker cannot be nominated, and The Bee must be with the 1930 nominee, let it be Taft or any other Republican. Now The Bee should have known that Foraker's chances for the nomination for the presidency were slim to start with. But the Truth will stand by Foraker to and after the nomination. The moral support of the race for Foraker as long as he is in politics and going the right way is evidence of the race's gratitude and its ability to take a position and stand by it. Until Roosewelt and the Republican party corrects the brutal treatment of the Negro soldiers there is no office or political job in Washington to buy it. We ought to be men or we ought to go back in slavery and stay there. The leaders of our race are today more responsible for our oppressed conditions than are the so-called white enemies. We are for right in the minority as against office, money, or a majority. One man who is right and by himself is always in the majority.

HEFLIN DENOUNCED. Colored Men Pass Resolutions at the Galbraith A. M. E. Church. At a mass meeting of lawyers, clergymen, and politicians last Monday night at the Galbraith African Methodist Episcopal Church, a resolution denouncing Representative Heflin, who recently shot a Negro because of the latter's alleged insulting conduct while riding in a street car, was unanimously adopted. The resolution, in part, is as follows: "Whereas, Representative J. Thomas Heflin, of Alabama, while riding on a street car of this city on Friday night, March 27, picked a fuss with two colored passengers, and without authority ejected them from the car at the point of a pistol, shooting one in the head and wounding a pedestrian on the sidewalk opposite the car: "Resolved, That we, the members of the International Ministers' Union of Washington, the N. I. C. and P. N. League of America, the Afro-American Council, the Niagara Movement—citizens of most of the States of the Union—and 500 citizens of the District of Columbia, n mass meeting assembled, do denounce and condemn his action as an outrage and a reflection upon the Congress of the United States. "We insist that the authorities of the District of Columbia prosecute to the full extent of the law the said Representative Heflin, and that the House of Representatives call him to account for violating the Constitution, which he has sworn to obey and defend." ENDORSED BY LABOR UNION. Central Organization Acts on District Republican ticket. In accordance with the requests of President Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, that all candidates in the coming elections be required to state their views concerning organized labor before they receive the endorsement of members of labor unions, Central Labor Union last night endorsed General Andrew S. Burt as delegate to the Chicago Republican Convention. In a letter to the committee appointed to ascertain the views of the proposed delegates to both the Chicago and Denver Conventions, General Burt stated that he was "for the man who stands openly and above board for organized labor; for the man who looks for the best interest of all organized labor." John J. Purcell, chairman of the committee appointed to make arrangements for a mass meting, at which time organized labor will denounce the recent rulings of the Supreme Court concerning labor questions, and at which members of local unions will endorse candidates for the presidency, announced that the meeting would be held on EasterSunday, April 1, at the Columbia Theater. Several Representatives, Senators, members of the Cabinet, and other well-known speakers will attend the mass meeting, he said, which is called at the suggestion of President Gompers. A resolution was offered by L. A. Sterne, delegate from the Stenographers' Union, asking that a committee be appointed to make arrangements for the celebration of the second Sunday in May, to be known as "Labor's Memorial Day." A letter was received from Wesley Russell, international secretary of the Commercial Telegraphers' Union, in which he stated that Representative Overstreet, chairman of the Committee on Post Roads and Telegraphs, had refused to grant a hearing to members of the union concernent and well trained. With ease ing the Government ownership of telegraph lines. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS. The Army Bill carrying an appropriation of almost $100,000,000, was passed by the Senate last Monday. That a Negro has a right to wear an Elks' pin was the decision of the judge in the Circuit Court at Little Rock, Ark. J. G. Groves, a dark-skinned farmer in Kansas, known as the "Potato King," is said to have produced 72,150 bushels of white potatoes last year. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS Eleven persons were injured and a number thrown from their seats in a collision on the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railway about noon last Sunday. It is believed that the accident was due to a misunderstanding of orders. Secretary Taft, who was away from the city for about ten days, delivering addresses in the West, returned last Saturday. Additional troops were ordered to Pensacola, Fla., last Monday, as a result of rioting in connection with the safety of the strike-breakers. An attempt was made last week to assassinate Lloyd Whipp, the deputy sheriff of Rockville, Md. The four United States warships which have bone cruising in the waters of Haiti are to be withdrawn for target practice. A cablegram has been received from Hawaii at the Taft headquarters in this city which states that at the convention held at Honolulu that elected delegates to the Republican National Convention, the friends of Mr. Taft were in control. The mine owners at Alaska want ten thousand additional men at the rate of five dollars per day and board. Willie Edouin, who was a well-known actor here and in Europe, died in London not long ago. The storage house of the American Ice Company at Camden, N. J., was destroyed by fire last Monday night. E. F. Henderson, a well-known merchant of Chicago, who systematically turned day into night for fifteen years, died at the Auditorium Annex last Monday evening. Edwin C. Madden has made charges against George B. Cortelyou involving his attitude toward the publications of Edward C. Lewis of St. Louis. Commissioner Morrow has recommended that the Commissioners make an unfavorable report to Congress upon the bill recently referred to them which provides for the changing of V street between Florida avenue and Nineteenth street northwest. Four thousand prayer books have been printed in the Sioux tongue and will be distributed among the Indians in many sections. William FF. Richter, who was manager of a "nickelodeon" in this city, was arrested last Monday night. He was wanted in New York to answer a charge of haying passed worthless checks. Two thousand Chinese are reported to have been drowned in the disastrous floods which occurred atHankow. The National Convention of the Independence Party will be held in Chicago the last part of July. The eighty-ninth celebration of Bethel A. M. E. Church in New York city took place this week. This church is said to have a membership of 2,800. We are glad to note the steady improvement in the condition of Mrs. Maggie L. Walker. We do not see why a man's name should be spelled with small letters, if he has done a wrong. The name of Representative Heflin appears in a leading Southern paper in small letters. While a certain colored newspaper would like to know "why the big, rich, white folks don't keep their domestic troubles out of the newspapers," we would like to say that it had better look out for its own troubles. The body of Durham W. Stevens, late advisor to the Korean Council, who was assassinated by a Korean in San Francisco, Cal., reached the city late last Monday afternoon. Information received in the city last Monday from Edgefield, S. C., said that Senator B. R. Tillman was slowly recovering and able to under take short drives through the country. Rev. S. H. Woodrow, pastor of the FFirst CoCngregational Church, spoke before a large gathering last Sunday evening on "The Truthful Edition." 18 SAID TO GIVE FINE FLAVOR TO THE DISH. Especial Care Needed In Cooking Meats and Vegetables If Success Would Be Assured—Preparing Fish and Meat. A Boston hostess served such a delicious vegetable salad the other night, that in spite of themselves one or two of the guests exclaimed oftent. The unusual flavor was given, it seems, by adding a couple of handfuls of cream cheese to the French dressing, which shows that there's a chance for something new in salad making. An unusually frappy salad calls for a small cucumber, a boiled beet, a couple of anchovies, two hard-boiled eggs, a boiled potato, 24 big olives and a head of lettuce. Make the French dressing and incorporate the anchovies which have been mashed to a paste, with it. Line the salad bowl with the lettuce and put the various ingredients, all cut into dice, into it. Season with salt and paprika, sprinkle lightly with sherry—about a quarter of a cupful—and turn the dressing over. Toss all together before serving. Even in preparing common salads especial care in cooking the meat and vegetables pays. Fish and meat used in salad should always be cold, and should be allowed to stand for a time covered with oil and vinegar, which should be drained off before the salad dressing is turned on. To blanch vegetables for a salad cut them into the shapes and sizes required and boil each separately for three or four minutes. Then drain, turn into cold water and boil in salted water until tender. Cold, boiled ham furnishes the basis for a tasty luncheon or supper salad. Dice the ham and to a cupful of it allow the same amount of shredded white cabbage, a small cucumber pickle and a pickled button onion, both chopped fine. Make a border center and sprinkle with the minced pickle. Dress with oil and vinegar, and garnish with olives and Spanish red peppers. Celery, green peppers, apples and a slice of onion cut up together make an appetizing dinner salad. Garnish it with radishes and dress with oil and vinegar and a dash of paprika. Another novelty is made of pimentos and cold boiled string beans mixed. An Egg Sandwich Worth Eating. The proprietor of a very small, clean, tastefully tidy and exclusive restaurant near the upper boundary of the Tenderloin serves an egg sandwich between 11:30 and 1:30 every week day that is attracting more customers than he can accommodate, says the New York Press. For each sandwich two small yellow dishes (fire-proof earthenware) are used and an egg at least a week old is shirred in each. When just right one of the eggs is plastered over about a quarter-inch thick with ground-up ham knuckle, seasoned with butter and pepper. You know the knuckle of a boiled ham becomes very hard in a few days. It is the choice part of the ham, and while difficult to cut with a knife, is easily ground. The second egg is quickly inverted and dumped upon the first. The ham is between the two, and the sandwich is served red hot in the first dish, the second acting as a cover to be removed at the table. Price, 25 cents. Chafing Dish Aprons. For one who wishes something especially dainty in aprons for chafing dish suppers or cozy little fancy work parties, there could be nothing prettier than one made of sheerest handkerchief linen. Cut about the size of the average centerpiece, it has an elaborate scallop, but the upper part is hollowed out to fit the waist of the wearer and long sash ends hold it in place. The tiny pockets are embroidered with a spray of ragged-robin's with a touch of dainty green, while several large designs of the same are strewn along the lower edge. Old Stockings. In a family where there are no children for whom to refront stockings the houselife is apt to find an accumulation in the mending basket. Take several tops, having removed the feet, and sew together, then fold over and sew across the bottom as for a bag, then down the sides, then turn to right side and sew across the top, and one has a dust cloth that will not scratch the polished furniture or floors. Be careful to sew so seams will be on inside and no ravelings will remain. Home-Made Shoe Polish. Take of ivory black and treacle each four ounces, sulphuric acid one ounce, beat olive oil two spoonfuls, best white wine vinegar three half pints; mix the ivory black and sulphuric acid, continuing to stir the mixture; next pour in the oil, and lastly add the vinegar, stirring it in by degrees until thoroughly incorporated. To Clean Grease from Skillets It is not generally known that used-up tea leaves from the bottom of the teapot, if emptied into a greasy frying pan and allowed to stand for a few minutes in a little hot water will remove every particle of grease adhering to the sides of the pan. Boys' Peanut Candy. Take two pounds sugar, one pound corn syrup, two pounds raw peanuts. Put peanuts in when sugar bolls. Cook until ready to burn and pour on greased plates. NOVEL USE FOR WOODEN EGGS. Made to Darn Stockings On, They Finally Served as Knobs for Hatplns. One of the Innumerable things that the manufacturers of turned-wood goods make is the darning egg, for use as an aid in darning stockings. These eggs are commonly provided each with a handle of the same kind of wood, which screws into one end. A while ago there was received at the New York office of a turned goods manufacturing concern an order for a couple of cases, some thousands in number, of darning eggs to be supplied without handles and of a size somewhat smaller than the standard; and then for some reason this special lot of eggs was left on the manufacturer's hands. But they were not wasted. In the course of time there came in a hatpin manufacturer who wanted to leave an order for a few thousand hatpin knobs, to be made in specified shape and dimensions. Besides making regularly a great variety of things the turned goods makers also turn wood in any shape that may be required to order. And then the salesman recalled that little lot of undersized handleless darning eggs, which proved to be exactly what the hatpin wanted and he took the lot. And so finally they came to be made up, not as darning eggs, with fancy handles, but as the knobs of hatpins. ECONOMY IN CUTTING BREAD. European Idea American Housewives Would Do Well to Copy. France and Italy have the reputation of being the least expensive countries in which to live, and this is owing not only to the price of foodstuffs, but also to the extreme care with which everything is used. An example of this studied economy, which, in time, becomes second nature, is their use of bread. In both countries mentioned only enough bread is cut to provide the family with one piece each. Should any one else wish for bread, two pieces are cut, and this process is repeated until the meal is over. By this method there is no bread left cut from the loaf to dry in the box, and one baking lasts four full days, not two days and a half. Perhaps it sounds too economical; perhaps the generous hostess might think that it was not true American hospitality. Indeed, it is the best treatment for guests and family alike, for bread that stands but a short time in the dish is sure to be just a little dry, while bread just cut is sweet and fresh. In Cleaning with Naphtha. To remove the very disagreeable odor of naphtha from gloves, or in fact from any waist or gown that has been returned from the cleaners, the article should be placed as close as possible to a steam heater, or directly upon the radiator if possible. The steam heat thoroughly dries out whatever of the fluid may have remained in the material, and does so without the danger of explosion which makes it impossible to dry a naphtha-cleaned garment anywhere near an ordinary stove or fire. After naphtha-cleaning gloves, laces, ribbons, etc., at home, they may be placed directly upon a steam radiator, and will be found to dry in half the time ordinarily required, and the odor will entirely disappear in less than an hour's time. A. New Salad. A new variation on the now familiar Waldorf salad has been invented, where the apple is peeled, cored and cut in cross slices. One slice is laid upon a few lettuce leaves on each plate, and over it is put a layer of barle-duc and cream cheese, which has been put through a potato masher, while around the whole is arranged a circle of mayonnaise dressing. A pretter dish can hardly be imagined, and, by the way, the cheese is never so good as it is when used in this way or beaten up with a little whipped cream. Keep a Long Needle. Every housekeeper should have a mattress needle, and these can be made easily from the rib of an old umbrella. Rip off the silk from the bottom, and then you have the eye. Snap off at the desired length, the usual length being about 12 inches. Sharpen both ends on a stone, and you have a good needle. As the bed becomes separated or the strings undone, they are easily sewed down with linen thread, making it comfortable and lasting. Feather beds may be tufted in the same way. Use Old Mattress Instead of giving mattresses to junk dealers or taking out and burning, empty contents and wash tickling and use for covering new mattress. Cut slit in center, finish edges and work button holes and use flat bone buttons for buttoning it up, or rip up and use to put between mattress and springs; it keeps mattress clean and free from dust. To Clean Articles of Repair To Clean Articles of Papier Mache. Trays and other articles made of papier mache should not be washed in hot water and soap suds. Sponge the surface with cold, clean water, and when thoroughly cleansed while still damp sprinkle with a little flour. Then polish with flannel. Renew the Broom Wash thoroughly with soap and water, let dry, and trim edges evenly with a pair of shears. This will enable you to use your broom twice the length of time. Are a Neglected Meat, According to High Culinary Authority. Kidneys are a neglected meat. Ask the butcher for fresh ones, beef, lamb or veal, parcel unit if very tender. To make devil's kidneys according to the cook of the New Idea Magazine, procure some lambs kidneys, remove the skin and vein or cord, and then gash with a sharp knife, rub the kidneys with a prepared seasoning, then brush with bacon fat and broll; or may be fried with baron in a very hot iron skillet if a broiling fire is not to be had. Now prepare a sauce from two thirds of a cupful of scalded milk, thickened with butter and flour rubbed to a paste or roux, as it is called, using a tablespoonful of each; when thickened and smooth, remove to the back of the range and stir in an egg yolk, a little salt and paprika, half a tablespoonful of finely minced parsley and one teaspoonful of lemon juice; if the kidneys are fried with bacon fat, the gravy left in the pan may be added to the sauce, if desired. Place each kidney on a round of buttered toast, dot with butter and pour the sauce around each slice of toast, placing one spoonful on top of each; serve at once. WASHING SWAN'S DOWN·FUR. Dellicate Fabric Requires Skillful and Careful Handling. This fur is very delicate and soft and forms a pretty trimming for children's clothing, but being white, it soon becomes soiled and unless some method could be adopted to restore its appearance it would be rather an expensive trimming. Washing is one of the cheapest and simplest methods for cleaning this fur and almost restores its new appearance. As the fur is very fine and easily destroyed, all rubbing, and even squeezing to any extent, must be avoided, as either would break off the down. It should instead be washed by shaking in a good soap lather, and, when clean, should be rinsed in warm water and pressed to remove the moisture. It must then be shaken to separate the down and hung in front of the fire to dry. It ought to be occasionally shaken during the drying process. National Cake. White Part—Cream together one cup white sugar and one-half cup of butter, then add one-half cup sweet milk, the beaten whites of four eggs, one-half cup of cornstarch, one cup flour into which has been mixed one teaspoonful of cream of tartar and one-half teaspoonful of soda; flavor with lemon extract. Blue Part—Cream together one cup of blue sugar and one-half cup of butter, then add one-half cup of sweet milk, the beaten whites of four eggs and two cups of flour in which mix one teaspoonful of cream of tartar and one-half teaspoonful of soda; no flavor. Red Part—Cream together one cup of red sugar and one-half cup of butter, then add one-half cup of sweet milk, the beaten whites of four eggs and two cups of flour, in which mix one half teaspoonful of cream of tartar and one-half teaspoonful of soda; no flavor. Place in a bake pan, first the red, then the white and last the blue. Bake in a moderate oven. Loin of Veal Jardiniere. Order a four-pound loin of veal, wipe it with a wet cloth, sprinkle it with salt and pepper and dredge with flour. Melt four level tablespoons butter in a deep stewpan and sear the meat on all sides, turning it often. Watch carefully, as it will burn easily. When well seared add a cup of boiling water, cover closely and cook until tender, adding more water when needed. When done remove to a hot platter and thicken the stock with a little flour diluted with a little cold water to pour. Gainish the meat with boiled carrots cut in cubes and seasoned nicely with salt, pepper and butter and potato balis. Serve with gravy separately. Care of Blankets The laundering of blankets and quilts may be postponed a long time if the parts that come near the face are protected with cheesecloth. When solled this is easily removed and washed. Cut it as long as the blanket or quilt is wide, hem the ends, fold in the middle lengthwise and tack half on each side of blanket. To Polish Plate Glass To polish plate glass and remove slight scratches, rub the surface gently, first with a clean pad of fine cotton wool, and afterward with a similar pad covered with velvet which has been covered with fine rouge. The surface will, under this treatment, acquire a polish of great brilliancy, quite free from any scratches. Skeleton Underwaists. To make boys' or girls' skeleton underwaist take the pockets out of men's old trousers, wash them and cut them in strips about one and one-half inches wide; make to fit waist loosely, with straps for shoulder. You will have a good, substantial waist to button underwear, trousers and garters upon. Indian Meal A small box of Indian meal kept by the sink or washstand is a very convenient article, especially to get oil off the hands. With Soapy Water A fine gloss can be obtained if starch is made with soapy water, and the starch will not stick. THE COMING ELECTION. How the District Will Be Divided.

C. --- TO RESTORE TOMBS CEMETERY IN NEW YORK CITY WILL BECOME GARDEN SPOT. Plot of Gotham Marble Burial Corporation an Interesting Bit of Ancient Town—Su:rounded by Stores and Tenements. New York—To lift one of God's acres out of a condition that does not harmonize with modern conceptions of health, beauty and general fitness is the plan of certain members of the New York Marble Cemetery corporation, the association which owns the old burying ground over on Second avenue. At a no inconsiderable cost they propose to transform the cemetery into what will resemble far more a beautiful garden than a place of the dead, a scheme that is of interest not only to those who have personal associations with the cemetery, but to the general public, to whom restful and verdant spaces in the midst of the toll and traffic of the city are of infinite value. The cemetery, which at present presents an old-fashioned aspect of quaintness and order, is an especially interesting bit of ancient New York, preserved amid the downfall and destruction of more conspicuous relics of the city's youth. For within it rest the remains of numbers prominently connected with her development socially and commercially. The plot lies in the middle of the block formed by the intersection of Second and Third streets with Second avenue and the Bowery, and is entered by an iron gateway which, breaking the monotonous block-front of stores and tenements on Second avenue, opens upon a passage, which in turn leads to the gateway in the eastern wall of the cemetery itself. Once inside the latter entrance, the visitor is astonished to find an open space of 137 feet by 85 feet in extent, surrounded by high walls and giving little evidence of the purpose for which it is used. A grass plot intersected by three straight paths runs the full length of the enclosure. Upon the western wall is a large tablet on which are engraved the names of vault owners, while the eastern wall bears the name of the cemetery. Along the side walls smaller tablets give the names of vault owners opposite their respective vaults. But there The Dead House. 15 neither grave stones nor monument within the enclosure The cemetery association was incorporated in 1831, though the cemetery itself is a quarter of a century older and was originally part of a farm owned by Perkins Nichols, who set aside this old plot of land as a family burial place. When the corporation was formed the plot was laid out in a series of catacombs, constructed of solid marble, 12 or 15 feet under ground and divided into 157 vaults. With the city's growth and development the Nichols farm was blotted out. Green fields were turned into city blocks, and the burial ground became completely surrounded by tenements and warehouses, whose many windows, like curious eyes, seemed to look down wonderingly into the old-fashioned, secluded place. As time passed the cemetery, from various causes, fell into semi-rural, the stone walls crumbled in many places and a tangle of bushes and briars hid path and grass plot from view and made a melancholy wilderness of this once cherished garden of the dead. A few years ago the question was agitated as to whether it would not be well to remove the bodies, sell the land and wind up the corporation. A meeting of all those representing original vault owners (so far as their names and addresses could be obtained) was called and the matter debated. It became apparent at once that the majority of those present were opposed to the abandonment of the cemetery. Qualnt and attractive as it now is, it is destined to become a spot of great beauty and dignity if those personally interested contribute sufficiently to carry out the scheme so artistically planned by Frederick von Hoffman, a landscape architect, who is to direct the work. One of the curious features of the cemetery as it is now is the ancient stone "dead house" that stands in one corner of the enclosure. It resembles a prison cell of an ancient type rather than a place for the dead to repose in temporarily, with its unshuttered, iron-barred windows and its small door. The members of the corporation usually refer to it by this name, but in the immediate neighborhood mortuary seems to be its accepted designation. In the scheme of regeneration of the cemetery this rude little structure will enjoy an agreeable transformation. HARRIMAN TO BUILD NEW ROAD Railway Planned to Extreme End of Lower California. New York.-Col. Espes Randolph, personal representative of E. H. Harriman, has returned from a visit to Mexico in connection with the Southern Pacific, project to build a railway the length of the peninsula of lower California. It is Harriman's intention to start work on the new line as early as possible. The road will be about 1,200 miles long, exclusively of many small branches, which will run to coast CALIFORNIA LOWER CALIFORNIA GULF OF CALIFORNIA MEXICO BAY OF MAGDALENA SAN LUCA CABO Route of New Railroad. points on both sides of the peninsula. According to the survey the route lies between two ranges of mountains for more than 500 miles of the distance. From there on it skirts the Pacific coast all the way until San Lucas Cabo, a little town on the extreme southern point of the peninsula, is reached. The proposed road will touch the bay of Magdalena, where the new naval coaling station of the United States is reached. The more important branch lines will be built to La Paz and Santa Rosalla. The former point is noted for its pearl fishing industry, and the latter for its great copper mines and smelter. The federal government has long been anxious to have a railroad built in lower California. It is claimed that the mountains of the peninsula are rich in gold, silver, and copper, and that there are millions of acres of land in the valleys which can be irrigated and placed in cultivation. The first order of 6,000 tons of steel rails for the lower California road was recently placed by Mr. Harriman with Russian steel manufacturers. They will be delivered by boat direct upon the wharves at San Lucas Cabo. Large orders for cross-ties for the new road have been placed in Japan, Mexico and British Columbia. Construction will be started simultaneously from both the northern and southern terminals. POST FOR FRANCIS B. LOOMIS. To Be Commissioner General at the Tokyo Exposition. Washington.—The president has decided to appoint former Assistant Sec- Francis B. Loomls. setary of State Francis B. Loomls to the position of commissioner general for the United States to the Tokyo exposition of 1912. The place will pay $6,000 a year, and will be created as soon as congress passes the bill appropriating $500,000 for our participation in the big Japanese show. Since Loomls resigned from the state department immediately following his controversy with Herbert W. Bowen, United States minister to Venezuela, he was kept out of the public eye, but has had frequent conferences with the president. The executive, who helped him in the Bowen squabble has a high regard for Loomls' ability. Temple of Serpents: The small town of Werda, in the kingdom of Dahomey, is celebrated for its temple of serpents, a long building in which the priests keep upwards of 1,000 serpents of all sizes. These they feed with birds and frogs brought to them as offerings by the natives. WOMACK IN POVERTY MAN WHO FIRST DISCOVERED GOLD AT CRIPPLE CREEK. Some of Men Made Millionaire by Poor Cowboy Plan to Give. Him Life Pension — Gave Away Claims Worth Fortunes. Denver.—"Bob" Womack, the poor cowboy who sunk the first shaft in the Cripple Creek district and thereby enriched the coffers of the world by $250,000,000, is in dire poverty in Colorado Springs, and will be given a life pension by some of the men he has made millionaires. Womack for several years has been a helpless cripple from paralysis. Previous to the palatetic visitation he added his sister in running a boarding house. Nobody would have dreamed that this bright, cheery old man, sometimes splitting kindlings, or again washing dishes or waiting on table, had discovered the great gold camp of Cripple Creek, and, had he held to his original claims, would have been worth $25,000,000. Yet such is the fact, and to-day Womack would be facing the poorhouse were it not that some of the men who have profited by his faith have resolved not to let the old prospector come to any such fate. Late in the eighties Bob Womack was riding the range for a cattle outfit in a tract of land known at that time as Requa Gulch, where Cripple Creek is now situated. Cripple Creek was first settled on by a ranchman named Levi Welty. Bob Womack's father secured Welty's title, but the land passed from his control to two young men named Thompson and Anderson, and Bob did the work of a cowboy for the new owners. The cattlemen did not prosper and a real estate firm, Bennett & Myers of Denver had to foreclose a mortgage on what they thought a most undesirable piece of property. The real estate firm put a young man named George Carr in charge as foreman. Soon Carr complained that his cowboy, Bob Womack, had the prospecting fever and that he was digging so many prospect holes on the ranch that cattle were falling in them and being injured. He tried to prevent Bob from doing prospecting, but the cowboy had the gold BOB WOMACK fever, and persisted in digging holes in the ground wherever he found a likely-looking spot. In January, 1891, Bob dug a prospect hole on what is now known as the El Paso lode of the Gold King Mining company, one of the richest veins in Cripple Creek. Womack took some rock from his El Paso claim to two citizens of Colorado Springs. The ore gave splendid returns, and fortune was within the poor cowboy's grasp, but he flung it aside. "We'll give you $300 for the claim," said one of the future millionaires. "Done," said the cowboy, to whom $300 looked like a big fortune. The deal was made, and development work was begun on the property which has paid many hundreds of thousands of dollars in dividends and which is still one of the great gold mines of the camp. Nor did Opportunity cease to knock at Womack's door in the case of the Gold King or El Paso mine. It is estimated that during the years 1890 and 1591 the cowboy had between 30 and 40 locations in the gold-bearing district. Whenever one of his friends was looking for a location Bob would make him a present of a claim. Some of the best properties in the district passed through his hands in this manner without his receiving the slightest benefit therefrom. The growth of the new camp was phenomenal, but Bob Womack had no part in it. Miners were "striking it" on every hill, and, in the mushroom town of Cripple Creek, frenzled men were buying and selling shares in countless mines and prospects. Fortunes were being made with a turn of the hand, yet luck had deserted Womack, and the poor cowboy could only look on, dazed, at the vast flood of riches he had almost unwittingly started from Nature's storehouse. He saw the man who had bought his prospect for $300 sell a third interest in his mine for $15,000. He saw claims that he had given away yielding rich ore at the first strike of the pick. Puzzled by the trick fortune had played on him, the cowboy turned from the hills and went to Colorado Springs, where he has lived with a spinster sister. The movement of the gold kings of Colorado to support the discoverer of this El Dorado is a grateful, though tardy, acknowledgment of indebtedness to the poor cowboy who rubbed the Aladdin's lamp and flooded the world with gold. WIFE OF POSTMASTER GENERAL Fair Boston Woman Is Leader of Capital Society. Washington.—When Hon. George von L. Meyer was appointed postmaster general, after his successes as American ambassador at the courts of Italy and Russia, it was announced that his beautiful wife would be the newest and fairest jewel in the cabinet set. Washington people have since ratified that opinion of the handsome Boston woman, who is now a leader in society at the nation's capital. As Miss Alice Appleton of Boston she was the heir of $2,000,000. In ad- T. dition to her striking blonde type of beauty, her graceful figure and her great tact and graciousness of manner, she is a fine equestrienne and a general lover of outdoor sports. Before her husband became a member of the diplomatic corps Mrs. Meyer was a leader in the hunting set at Hamilton, where she has a magnificent country seat. When at the court of King Victor Emmanuel her skill in horsemanship came into great prominence in following the hounds. She was the talk of the ballrooms for her daring riding. Her entertainments were on the most elaborate scale and her jewels on some occasions far outshone those of the queen. Her success at Rome was repeated when she went to Russia, at the time when her husband had the delicate task of carrying out President Roosevelt's plans for the peace conference and the ending of the Russo-Japanese war. Her return to this country last year was eagerly awaited by her Boston friends, and her return to the social set at Hamilton was one of the great events of the season there. She has two charming daughters and one son. SUMMER RESORTS IN MEXICO. Many'Texans Go South to Find a More Equitable Climate. City of Mexico.—The Tropic of Cancer, the parallel of latitude which marks the dividing line between the temperate and the torrid zones, is marked by a large stone monument on the line of the National railroad of Mexico which leads from the United States border to this city. This monument is close to the track of the road. ZONA TORRIDA Landmark Which Marks Tropio of Cancer. and it is an object of much interest to visitors and tourists. It is 363 miles south of the United States border. Upon the south side of the monument are the words "Tropico de Cancer" and "Zona Torrida." and upon the north side the words "Tropico de Cancer" and "Zona Tempala." The altitude of the region in which this monument is situated is so high as to make the climate temperate instead of cold. The real topical zone of Mexico is not reachable until the high plateau and mountains receive into the low region on or five hundred miles south of where the monument is placed. So moral is the difference between the location of the uplands and the city, lying the coasts of the country that within the people of the plateau may be suffering from cold those in the lower country, perhaps less than 100 miles away, may be sweltering under the heat of a tropical sun. There are a number of places within the torrid zone of Mexico which are noted as summer resorts. Hundreds of people from the United States, particularly Texas and other southern states, visit these cool spots each summer to get away from the heat and discomforts of the less favored localities where they live. JOHN T. CHANCEY IN UNCLE SAM'S SERVICE 52 YEARS. Has Had Longer Personal Experience with Lawmakers Than Probably Any Other Man—Chief Pleasure Is Playing Croquet. Washington.—John T. Chancey, who has had a longer personal acquaintance with presidents and national lawmakers than probably any other man in the country, recently celebrated his fifty-second anniversary of service as special employee of the house floor. Mr. Chancey to the crowds of daily visitors to the capitol is, next to Speaker Cannon, one of the most useful and best-known men in congress. For more than half a century he has sat at the left hand of every speaker, beginning with the Buchanan administration. While he admits to 78 years of active life, Mr. Chancey, like Uncle Joe Cannon, is one of the young old men in congress. It may be said to his credit that he does not look a day over 50. "My first recollection of our presidents," said Mr. Chuncey. "was that of Andrew Jackson. While I was only five years old, I remember it well. My family had just moved to Washington from Maryland. The earliest recollection of our life here was the presentation to President Jackson of an immense cheese by the residents. This was, I suppose, regarded in the light that a loving cup or some similar gift would be to-day. I remember well the people had set apart what they called milking day. There were farms all about the White House then. With the huge contribution from the residents they made this enormous cheese and presented it to the president, who, I dare say, duly appreciated it, for such a present was considered a pretty good thing in those days. Mr. Chancey's first work in serving the government was to help organize Washington's first fire company. For some years he was head of the volunteer fire company. While engaged in JOUNIT CHANGE JOHN T. CHANGEY this work he spent two days and two nights fighting a stubborn fire which almost completely destroyed the library of congress and threatened destruction to the capitol. Mr. Chancey plays the part of congressional chauffeur to the new members. This role is included in his numerous duties. "I suppose you might call me general utility man," he said when asked to define the varied services he has performed during the 17,000 days he has spent at the capitol, when his annual vacations of one month each and Sundays are taken out of his working record. With each new incoming lot of congressmen Mr. Chancey has taken palms to escort them about and familiarize them with their new surroundings at the capitol, which is no small task, as many representatives find for the first time after they once enter upon their duties. And there are a thousand and one things to be done that the public does not think of in connection with the business of lawmaking that falls to Mr. Chancey's lot to attend to. Mr. Chancey has attended nearly all of the New Year receptions at the White House in the last half century and all the funerals of the notable men who have died in Washington or laid in state here, among them Lincoln, Garfield, Henry Clay, William Henry Harrison, Zachary Taylor and many others. "Garfield was a fine man," said Mr. Chancey, "and I was very fond of Benjamin Harrison. Mr. McKinley was a quiet man, but a lovable one, and knowing him as I did, or knowing of his fine character as I did, I admired him exceedingly." Mr Chancey arrives at the capitol every day between nine and ten o'clock, and he seldom leaves before six. When he enjoys his vacations he follows President Roosevelt's out-of-earth habit, although the exercise he takes is tamer in comparison, for Mr. Chancey's chief pleasure is playing group with the young folks and children. Mr. Graves, the only one child, a hardworking woman, who makes a gracious hatter and helps to entertain a series of friends who call him her friend for her birthday at popular man.

COSTLY VESSEL FOR A CHURCH. New York Jeweler Manufactures Monstrance Worth $10,000. New York.—Jewelry valued at more than $25,000, belonging to members of St. Francis Xavier Catholic church of Brooklyn, was melted and used in the manufacture of a large monstrance, or portable tabernacle, which was used for the first time at the 40-hour devotion services Sunday. Into the making of this secret vessel went not only the gold of the jewelry presented by the congregation, but precious stones to the number of 94. There is not another vessel in the United States so costly. The mon- Costly Monstrance Made of Jewelry, Melted. strance is used to hold the sacrament when exposed at benediction, and it sometimes is borne outside in solemn procession. The sacrament is placed in the center of the vessel in a receptacle called the lunette. The monstrance of St. Francis Xavier church is three feet high and weighs 124 ounces. It is made entirely by hand and is finished in rose gold. The gold used in its manufacture is 14 carats fine. As in all monstrances the lunette is the center of radiating branches made to represent the rays of the sun. Around the lunette are 50 diamonds of large size, eight rubies, four sapphires and two pearls. Workmen have been constantly employed on it since last September. The vessel is made in what is known as the English gothic style, and when placed in position will be the chief ornament of the altar of St. Francis Xavier. It is more than a year since Father Hickey, pastor of the church, conceived the idea of calling for contributions of jewelry from members of his parish for the making of his sacred vessel. The number and value exceeded his expectations. At the end of a year he sent the jewelry to be melted and refined for the manufacturer's use. Monstrances, sometimes called ostensoriums, date from the first feast of Corpus Christi, declared by Robert, bishop of Liege, in 1246. "Angel of the Crimea" Given Freedom of 'City of London. London - Miss Florence Nightingale, who has been presented with the freedom of the city of London, is in her M. eighty-eighth year and has long been an object of admiration approaching worship by the British public. The world knows her for her great work in the Crimea war, 1853-1856, when she organized the British hospital service, and became known as "the angel of the Crimea." On her return to England from the Crimea a purse of £50,000 ($250,000) was subscribed for her, and she devoted the money to the foundation of a school for trained nurses. True to her early instincts, she has refused to accept the gold casket going with the freedom of the city of London, costing $2,500, and at her request the money has been given to hospitals. Said to Be 132 Years Old. Probably the oldest man alive is Hadjl-Raouf, who lives in Constantinople, and is said to be 132 years old. He still works at his profession of saddle-maker, and has never left the house he was born in. His father is believed to have lived to the age of 142. THE BEE PUBLISHER 23 1109 Eye St. N. W.

"Southern Democrats are living in a fool's paradise if they think there is no serious purpose among Republican leaders to reduce the Southern representation. This is comparatively a new issue, but we have yet to hear a word of centre from Republican sources against the Fourteenth Amendment think of the Ohio platform. And why should not Republicans favor the reduction of Southern representation? Such action would be in accord with the history and conditions of their party. The Constitution, according to their interpretation, demands such reduction. "The reduction of Southern representation would so weaken and ripple the Democratic party that Republican control of the Government would be assured for the next two decades. Political expediency one would support the program the Ohio platform and the Kei-ir bill. If the Southern States expect to stay rid of the Negro vote and to tain their present basis of representation, they must rehabilitate the Democratic party in the North and West. The Ohio platform is what the World said it was — "a warning to the South." "The South is not obliged to the warning, but if the South Democrats again allow Popu to control the National Convention, if they permit the nomination of Mr. Bryan,thereby sending party to disastrous defeat, they will have to take the consequences of their own folly." What the New York World says may well constitute a warning to the South, in view of the fact that already Rhode Island and Illinois have adopted the Ohio suffrage bank. As on other questions, there is some difference of opinion among Negroes as to the desirability of a reduction in Southern presentation, not a few contend that it would place the stamp approval on race disfranchisement. it is practically certain, at this time, that Secretary Taft will be nominated by the Eastern and Western States, and with a good begin to spare. If this is accompanied the Southern delegates will have that run for their money with some of them believed they would have. Already there have three hundred Taft delegates instructed elected, as against a little over one-third of that number for all the other candidates combined. With many of the Western and Eastern States yet to elect, and which are morally certain to be carried by Taft, it may be set down as an absolute certainty that Mr. Taft will have fully six hundred votes on the first ballot, and as it requires but 491 to nominate it will be seen that Secretary Taft will be nominated on the first ballot. This is not speculation. It is the cold facts, substantiated by the list of delegates already selected and pronounced for Taft. Say what we will, and differ as we may or will, it must be acknowledged that a candidate who can so far lead all the others in the field, and when that field is made up of as splendid a galaxy of men as was ever presented to the Republican delegates to choose from, must have a hold on the American people. If it is Taft, and all signs point unquestionably to it, it behooves the Negro voters to assist in his elevation in order that we may share in the success of the party. If we withhold our support, and a Republican is elected with the race arrayed against him, we cannot expect any consideration. And we know, and everyone else knows we have absolutely nothing to expect of the Democrats, save loathing. DEMOCRATIC NEGROES. The recent colored Democratic conference that was held in Philadelphia, Pa., last week was no doubt a great blunder. It is unfortunate that Bishop Alexander Walters, Dr. Morsell and others should be led to the slaughter by a set of political renegades. Now, what did the conference amount to? What influence did the conference exert? How many votes will this side show influence? The conference elected a pigmy for president, who reminds all intelligent people of Don Quixote charging a windmill. All races must have fools. Ancient kings used to have jesters, but those jesters were men of education. Modern jesters among the Nergoes are fools. When intelligent colored men follow modern Nergo jesters The Bee cannot help from coming to the conclusion that the followers are as big fools as they. The District delegate contest does not appear to be causing the Taft managers any sleep. The fact of the matter is, they figure Taft will have such a tremendous lead that the two delegates from the District will cut no ice. And this leads us to soliloquize: Why all this energizing on the part of the men on the two local tickets? If the Negroes of Washington would pull together, and cut out all bickerings, jealousies and antagonism, what mighty results would be accomplished for the race here! The Bee is for harmony and progress, and from this day it means to redouble its efforts along that line. Everybody boost. A divided Negro race offers an opportunity to the united white race to scatter and dispel our best efforts. Let's unite and be "one for all and all for each." A great big harmony meeting, with erstwhile enemies fraternizing as friends, what a grand spectacle this would be. Who'll take the initiative for such a movement? COLORED AMERICANS OF DOUBTFUL REPUTATIONS. This is the time when some newspapers give spac to the ebbulitions of inconsequential, and even disreputable colored Americans who, for pay, are using Sepator Foraker as a cloak in order to secure a pittance for attacks on the President and Secretary Taft. If you want to attack the President or Mr. Taft, do it in the open, but do not hide behind the cloak of Senator Foraker, and by so doing do him an injustice. Policy players, crap shooters,colored men without any visible means of support, men known to be living off of women of doubtful reputations, men who for years have done nothing but fake,are now get- Every good American should be proud of the record which Secretary Taft made as Governor of the Philippine Islands, as every Filipino is, because it is one of the cleanest of any foreigner who, ever governed an alien people. All of the records go to prove his to be the case. Moreover, every honest Filipino will bear witness to the truth of it. In the Philippine Islands, when American adventurers sought to despoil the Filipinos of their interests in the commerce and in the material resources, n mountain and valley, of their country he placed himself between them and made bold proclamation that the Philippine Islands were for the Filipinos, and that those who did not like that policy of his could pack their grips and fade. Most of them did not have the passage money, and many of them, we are told, are serving long terms in Biabid prison for trying to get the passage money by "ways that are dark and tricks that are vain." They will serve their terms and remember to the end of their days that they ran up against one American in a responsible position in an alien land who refused to allow the weak to be despoiled by the strong because they had the right of conquest on their side to do it. The Afro-Americans in the Philippine Islands will also bear testimony to the fact that, in a situation where there was a masterful and insolent Southern white sentiment, Governor Taft was consistently their friend, and saw to it that they had their just rights, as far as he could do so, and when they were able to reach him with their grievances, and the Southern bureaucrats in all the parts of the island gave them all of the trouble that they could. In this country and as Secretary of War, with oversight of Philippine affairs, Secretary Taft has persistently urged upon the Congress the enactment of such trade and maritime laws as would enable the Filipinos to properly develop their internal resources and to extend their coastwise and foreign trade. It is no fault of his that this has not been done. His attitude, however, shows his honest and persistent interest in the Filipinos, as well as illustrates his judicial and philosophical attitude of mind. He married Miss Ida Napier, sister of Hon. James C. Napier, of Nashville, and is survived by her and their two sons, James Carroll and John Mercer. Hs sons, one of whom is a teacher in St. Louis, and the other a bank clerk in Nashville, are graduates of Oberlin CCollege, thus making the third generation of Langstons to hold diplomas as graduates of Oberlin 4College. Professor Langston was in Washington last summer during his vacation, and at a reception tendered him by Prof. Kelly Miller, dean of the college faculty at Howard University, he looked the picture of health, and everyone present on that occasion will long remember how eloquently he spoke of the opportunity for usefulness in the teacher's calling, and with what hopeful optimism he pictured the future. His demise brings suddenly to its close a career rich with promise of a yet larger usefulness in the service of his fellow men. The news of the sudden death of Mr. Sámuel W. Starks, at Charleston, W. Va., came as an inexpressible shock to his friends in this city, where so many of his fellow craftsmen reside. The sorrow is universal and the tributes to his memory have been spontaneous and sincere. Just in the prime of a vigorous and useful life, the universally beloved chieftain of one of the race's most progressive fraternities, serving with distinction in the highest office held by a colored man in his State, and principal owner of a journal of national influence, the death of Mr. Starks comes as a distinct loss to the people of the entire nation, regardless of race, for his life of forty brief years has been largely spent in cementing the whites and blacks in closer bonds of political, civil and industrial union. To the Knights of Pythias and the Masons, to the people of West Virginia, to the newspaper fraternity and country at large, as well as to his bereaved family an immediate friends, we extend the deepest sympathy in this hour of mutual sorrow. Others will doubtless be called to the stations which Mr. Starks has filled so worthily and so well, but none will fill them so completely as did Samuel W. Starks. He was a leader who led ever toward the heights. Editor John Mitchell, Jr., of the Richmond Planet, and president of the -Mechanics' Savings Bank, accompanied by Dr. J. A. Lewis and J. J. Carter, cashier and treasurer of the Richmond Beneficial and Insurance Company, passed through the city last Saturday, en route to Harrisburg, Pa. All three of the gentlemen belong to Virginia's most progressive financial and business circles. The Week in Society Mr Fred R. Moore, formerly of this city, but now of New York city, was in the city this week on a visit. Es Governor P. B. S. Pinchtaaack and wife left the city for New York city, his home, Wednesday. Recorder J. C. Dancy was in North Carolina this week. Dr J E. Sheppard, of Durham, N C. has been invited to California to deliver one of his famous speeches. Re: S L. Corrothers has returned to the city from Philadelphia, Pa. Dr Corrothers is dissatisfied with Trotter and his new organization Mr W. Calvin Chase was reappointed Notary Public by the President Tuesday. MADAME DAVIS WELL. AGAIN. Madame Davis, the celebrated gard reader, who has been ill, is able to be up again. Madme Davis is the most wonderful woman in the country in her profession. One thing about her, she will return your money if she fails to give you satisfaction. Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, Auditor for the Navy department, received a telegram from his son that he was safe from the great Chelsea fire. The Bee as well as the numerous friends of Mr and Mrs. Tyler, extends its gratification. MRS. CHASE AND HER PUPILS Friday evening, May 29th, Mrs. Arabella V. Chase and her two pupils (Miss Beatriz Lucinda, and W. Calvin Chase, Jr., will give a musical recital at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, M street between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets northwest. Mrs. Chase is one of the most accomplished instructors of music in this country. Her daughter, Miss Beatraz Lucinda Chase, at the age of ten years, could execute most skillfully and artistically upon the piano the greatest masterpieces of the world. At the age of twelve she made her first appearance for two and one-half hours, without intermission. Miss Chase played music from the most celebrated authors in the world. 1. : W. Calvin Chase, Jr., is a cornetist. Both have been under the tutorship of their mother, Mrs. Chase. There is no lady in this country who deserves greater credit than Mrs. Chase. Mrs. Chase is willing to put her daughter against any young lady her age. If you want to see what a mother has done, don't fail to see Mrs. Chase and her pupils, son and daughter. REV. BROOKS. One of the most eloquent and logical sermons was delivered by Rev. Walter H. Brooks, D.D., last Sunday morning at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. He selected for his text John xv. 5, "I am the vine and ye are my branches." His illustrations were painted as beautifully as a picture. He took the flowers, and showed, when they were plucked from the bush, how they would die. He next took the peach, apple, grape and other fruits, and made comparisons. He showed how the hypocrite could deceive himself, but not God. The church was crowded to its utmost capacity, and the singing of the choir was excellent. The solo by Professor Braxton was beautifully rendered. At the conclusion of the services a lage collection was raised for the pastor, and also a collection to entertain the old folks the first Sunday in May, on which occasion all the old members of the church will be brought to the church in carriages. THE CANTATA"MOON QUEEN" This cantata, said to be a most pleasing one, will be rendered by the children of St. Luke's church, assisted by a number of other children not officially connected with the parish, on Friday evening, May 1, 1908, at the True Reformers' Hall. The children are being trained by Mrs.Madge Dyer White, assisted by the Misses Josephine Weston and Helen Jones. Se advertisement in another column. EASTER DAY AT ST. LUKE'S P. E. CHURCH.

Why do not the promoters of Negro enterprises and undertakings advertise in the columns of The Bee? Don't they understand that the Negroes who persistently support Negro newspapers embrace the identical persons who patronize Negro ventures and enterprises to a large extent? Why haven't we heard from the S. Coleridge Taylor Society, from the Plymouth Congregational Ch., as to their approaching Easter cantata? from the Epicurean Cafe, recently opened in Fourteenth street northwest, for ladies and gentlemen, and also from a large number of other worthy ventures we could mention? Circulars being largely distributed invite attention to the "Seventh Annual Reception of the Banneker Relief Association" at Convention Hall on the 1st of May. Circulars and placards issued by the Immediate Relief Association call attention to its annual reception which took place last Thursday evening in Convention Hall.

Although cabbage has oftén heen called the poor man’s vegetable, many appetizing and attractive dishes cao be made from If. We give several-good rechpes: . An unusually good salad was recent- ly served at a luncheon. The inside of a good-sized cabbage was cut out, and the space filled with a mixture cf chopped celery, cucumbers and pep- pers dressed with’ oll and vinegar, and well seasoned. The-top of the cab- bage was replaced after the filling was put in, und the head was then placed on a plate In frunt of the hos- tess, who did the serving. ‘The guests wondered If they beheld an: other mysterious Jack Hicrner ple. Another way to use a head ot cab. bage 1s to foliow the sume plan, only filling the hole with finely choy-ped meat, a lttle onidn, and bread crumbs. Bake until tender and then cut in slices and serve with a cream sauce, This makes a very good luncheon dish or an entree at dinner, * Fried cabbage is particularly good at this time of year. First boil the cabbage until tender, and when cold cut into small pleces, Cut some slices of bacon into strips and put them in the frying pan. When they have com: -menced to cook, and the bottom of the pani is well greased, add the cabbage and fry until a light brown. Season with salt and pepper. For creamed cabbage, boll the cab bage tender, drain off the water and put into the pot with a large teaspoon ful of flour, a tablespoonful of butter, a little salt, and half a cupful of milk Cook, stirring, until the sauce |: smooth. eS ae W.B.

HOW TO WASH A SWEATER. Garment Can Be Cleaned Without, Causing Loss of Shape. In summer a girl's sweater {s her most important as well as her most useful garment. If her shirt waists are badly made or shoes shabby that is a minor consideration, but her sweater must be immaculate and up to date. Every girl likes to wear nothing but white during the outing Season, and great Isher disgust when her mother Insists upon her having a gray sweater f@r economy's sake In the firm bellef that the darker shade Keeps clean longer and that all woolen goods are impossible to wash. If proper care Is taken sweaters can be washed all the time without hurt. Ing thelr shade and cclor. Fill a large howl or basin with warm water and soapsuds, add & teaspoonful of powdered borax to keep the wool from becoming bard and stiff.

Beef Bone and Vegetables Make an Ideal Combination. After thoroughly washing in tepid water a 15-cent beef shank soup bone, place it in an eight-quart kettle and cover with cold water, and when slowly boiling remove all scum. Add a cup of cold water, which will cause more scum to arise, and when clear cover closely and allow to boll slowly two hours, adding water occasionally. Then add salt to taste, a large onion cut in two, two large carrots cut lengthwise in about six pieces each, and a large cupful of best tomatoes—use the tomatoes as they come from the can, the thick part as well as the juice—and boll the whole until the carrots are well done, when add a half teaspoonful of celery salt, and boll a few minutes longer, then strain and serve hot. A strip or two of the carrot can be served in each bowl if desired, they being palatable so cooked and great complexion beautifiers. This soup will be found most excellent for a weak stomach, or found most excellent for anyone recovering from sick headache. BUCKWHEAT CAKES FOR, TWO. By Leaving a Starter, They Can Be Kept Going for Several Weeks. One quart lukewarm water, one tablespoonful cornmeal, one teaspoonful sugar, one-half cake of compressed yeast, one cupful buckwheat flour, one cupful white flour; let rise over night; in morning add one teaspoonful salt. Leave two-thirds cupful of batter for starter, and put in cool place until following night, when you repeat as before, with the exception of the yeast (which you do not need again), and the sugar. The second morning turn out the batter you want to use in another dish and add the salt and sugar and a pinch of soda. If any of this batter is left do not put back with the starter, as it is not good to keep after the soda is in it. By leaving a starter each time and doing as directed, these cakes can be kept goling for several weeks, but be sure and not put in salt until just before baking, and they will always be light. This recipe is sufficient for two people. Chocolate Pic. Bake a crust the same as for a cocoanut pie, then fill with this mixture; Put one cup of milk with a pinch of salt and a square and a half of grated chocolate into the double boiler.

Cook, stirring constantly until smooth and thickened, then cook just ten minutes longer. Mix the yolks of two eggs with five tablespoonfuls sugar, and pour the hot mixture over them, stirring well. Return to the double boiler and cook two minutes, stirring constantly. Cool, flavor with vanilla and clamamon, put into the crust, bake ten minutes, then, after cooling slightly, cover with a merengue made from the whites of the eggs whipped stiff with two tablespoonfuls sugar. Set in a cool oven to puff and color. Cheese Pudding. A delicious cheese pudding is made from one five-cent loaf of baker's bread with a half pound of good cheese about the strength of that used in making Welsh rarebit. Cut off the hard crusts of the bread, slice and butter, laying slices loosely in the baking dish with alternate layers of cheese, cut in thin slices. Beat one egg and add a quart of milk with a pinch of salt. Pour this mixture over bread and cheese and let it soak until every slice 45 moistened. Bake 35 to 45 minutes until brown on top as in bread pudding. Serve on hot plates and quickly. The hotter the better. Baked Bean Rarebit. A novelty in the shape of a bean rareblt is recommended in the Woman's Home Companion as a good way of using up the left-over baked beans. The recipe is as follows: Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, add one teaspoonful of salt, one eighth of a teaspoonful of paprika, one-half cupful of milk and one cupful of cold mashed baked beans. Stir until thoroughly heated and add one-half cupful of grated soft, mild cheese. As soon as the cheese has melted serve on small circular pieces of toasted bread or zephyrettes. The recipe is admirably adapted for chafing dish. Dandelion Wine. One gallon dandelion blossoms picked when the sun is shining. Put in stone crock; pour over them one gallon of boiling water. Let stand in a cool place for three days; then put in a porcelain-lined kettle, with the rind of three oranges and one lemon cut up fine. Boll 15 minutes, strain, add three pounds of sugar and the pulp and juice of the oranges and lemon. When lukewarm add half of a yeast cake. Stand one week in a warm place. Strain again; let stand until it stops working, then bottle. Glazed Carrots. Wash and scrape the carrots and cook in boiling salted water until tender.

The board shall have authority to fix the date of said election, subject to prior provisions herein, and to arrange all details incident thereto; and shall provide for a registration of the votes cast, such registration to include the name and residence, of each voter." Official call of the Republican National Committee under date of December 7, 1907. In accordance with that official call thirty days' notice is hereby given that the registration and election of delegates and alternates to the next Republican National Convention will take place Tuesday, April 28, 1908. Every male citizen of the District of Columbia twenty-one years of age or over who believes in the policies and principles of the Republican party, and who has resided in the District of Columbia for one year next prior to the date of the registration and has resided for two months next prior thereto in his voting precinct, and who does not claim citizenship elsewhere, shall have the right to vote. The District of Columbia shall be divided into twenty-two precincts, corresponding with what have formerly been known as the legislative districts. The voting places shall be hereafter designated. Prior to the election, this election board shall appoint for each polling place three persons of known integrity as a board of judges, whose duty it shall be on the day of the registration and election to determine the qualifications of the voters as herein prescribed to receive, count, announce and return the ballots to a returning board hereinafter provided for. Said board of judges shall choose one of its members as chairman and another as clerk. The election board will, prior to the election, select three voters.qualified as hereinbefore mentioned, as a returning board. The polls shall be kept open during such hours of the day as this election board may hereinafter determine. No person will be eligible to vote who shall not have registered. The election board will furnish ballots printed in plain type, which will contain the following words only: "For delegates and alternates to the Republican National Convention at Chicago, Ill., June 16, 1908.
